Un cambio inexplicable - Opinión
! [English Version]
It has been two months since the end of the professional baseball season in Venezuela, where a drought was broken without winning championships by the set of the Tiburones de La Guaira, usually in the period between the end of a season and the beginning of another one, many movements and changes of different factors that make up a team are generated, that is, from management to players, There have already been some changes in these two months of dead season, but this week there has just been one that for many specialists is inexplicable, that is why I would like to analyze this movement that was announced on Tuesday April 9 where the following teams were involved, Cardenales de Lara and Tigres de Aragua.

The Cardenales de Lara managed to trade the player Odubel Herrera, who for some months was wanted by at least three teams, they were the Leones del Caracas, Navegantes del Magallanes and Aguilas del Zulia, but ended up making the transfer with the team from Aragua, For most of us who follow baseball in Venezuela this change was totally surprising, first of all because Herrera left the team two seasons ago to Lara and his departure from the team of Maracay was not in the best terms, this player was on the payroll of the Tigres for more than 5 years and never wore that uniform, At the time he was traded for Carlos Rivero, his arrival in Barquisimeto generated many expectations, but the results were not as expected, the Leones were the first to ask for the left-handed hitter, and Lara asked for right-handed pitcher Albert Suarez and Caracas was not willing to give up one of their best starters and it was logical that Lara asked for pitchers because that is what they need the most, the same happened with Magallanes where Cardenales asked for Anthony Vizcaya as a trade chip, but the Turks also refused to give up their stellar closer.
También es cierto que recibes a dos jugadores y solo entregas uno, los Cardenales ven de regreso a un lanzador zurdo que ya militó en las filas crepusculares, se trata de Adrián Almeida, de buena velocidad, pero con grandes problemas de descontrol, este cambio en el papel no parece favorecer al Lara, porque ahora no contarán con un jardinero criollo con velocidad y poder ocasional, no lograron sumar al tan ansiado abridor criollo, y lo peor del caso es que siguen sobre poblando la nómina con infielders, lo único que pudiera darle sentido a este cambio, es que antes de iniciar la próxima temporada los crepusculares realicen más cambios, en donde salgan de buena cantidad de jugadores del cuadro interior y así conseguir lanzadores y un verdadero cuarto bate, espacio que dejo vacío Luis Jiménez y que no se ha podido llenar con nadie.
En mi opinión los Tigres van ganando, salieron de Hernández que en la zafra pasada no aportó casi nada, ya que estuvo con un average por debajo de los 100 puntos y reciben a un peligroso tolero que brillos en las grandes ligas con el equipo de los Phillies de Philadelphia, Almeida ni siquiera jugó con los bengalíes en la campaña pasada, es decir, recibes a un jugador clave y no tocaron la estructura fundamental del equipo, tendrán un tridente ofensivo de alto calibre, Amarista, Martínez y Herrera, ellos con toda seguridad aportaran mucho a la ofensiva aragüeña, mientras que Hernández y Almeida serán una interrogante para los Cardenales de Lara, veremos que ocurre o cuál fue el fin de este cambio para el conjunto larense, pero por ahora no le consigo lógica a este movimiento.

The Águilas del Zulia did not deny the interest they have in this player, but apparently they did not offer anything that would interest the red birds, since the Crepuscular are looking for Creole pitching in the exchange market, hence the surprise that generates this change, for Herrera Lara receives Yonny Hernandez, a player who can cover almost all the potions, It is illogical to leave an outfielder with speed and above average defense to receive a player with similar characteristics to the ones you already have and in abundance.It is also true that you receive two players and only give up one, the Cardinals see the return of a left-handed pitcher who already played in the Crepuscular ranks, it is Adrian Almeida, with good speed, but with big problems of lack of control, this change on paper does not seem to favor the Lara, because now they will not have a Creole outfielder with speed and occasional power, they failed to add the long-awaited Creole starter, The only thing that could make sense to this change is that before the start of next season the Crepuscular team makes more changes, where they get rid of a good number of players from the infield and thus get pitchers and a real fourth bat, a space left empty by Luis Jimenez and that has not been filled with anyone.
In my opinion, the Tigres are winning, they got rid of Hernandez who in the last season contributed almost nothing, since he had an average below 100 points and they receive a dangerous pitcher who shined in the big leagues with the Philadelphia Phillies, Almeida did not even play with the Bengals last season, that is, they received a key player and did not touch the fundamental structure of the team, They will have a high caliber offensive trident, Amarista, Martinez and Herrera, they will surely contribute a lot to the offense, while Hernandez and Almeida will be a question mark for the Cardinals of Lara, we will see what happens or what was the purpose of this change for the Lara team, but for now I do not get logic to this movement.

Esos cambios tienen si o si su trasfondo. Habrá que esperar a que empiece la nueva temporada a ver si el enigma se descifra.
Créeme que antes que inicie lo sabremos. Porque de ser así eso fue un atraco jaja
